Ventilation Fig. 3 The refrigerating unit is ventilated only via the ventilation grille in the base. NEVER cover or block the ventilation grille. Otherwise, the refrigerating unit must work harder, increasing the power consumption. 6 en Switching on the appliance Press On/Off button, Fig. 2/2, green and red indicator lights are lit. Fittings not on all models Ice cube tray Fig. 4 Fill the ice cube tray ¾ full of water and place in the freezer compartment. If the ice tray is stuck to the freezer compartment, loosen with a blunt implement only (spoonĆhandle). To loosen the ice cubes, twist the ice tray slightly or hold briefly under flowing water.

Ice block Fig. 5 (Not all models; if enclosed, quantity may vary). If a power failure or malfunction occurs, the ice blocks can be used to slow down the thawing process. The most effective delay and the lowest power consumption are obtained if the ice block is placed directly on the food in the top compartment. The ice blocks can also beĂused to cool food temporarily, e. g. inĂaĂcold bag. Selecting the temperature Set the temperature selector on, Fig 2/1, to a number. The higher the number, the lower the temperature. 2-3). Note S If you cannot open the freezer comĆ partment door immediately after closing it, wait 2ć3 minutes until the partial vacuum has equalised. S The refrigeration system may cause several areas of the freezer shelves to frost quickly. This does not affect function or power consumption. The appliance does not require defrosting until the entire surface of the freezer shelf is covered with more than 5 mm of frost or ice. S The sides of the housing are sometimes heated slightly. [. . . ] A thick layer of ice impairs refrigeration of the frozen food and increases the power consumption. S When loading or unloading the freezer, open the appliance door as briefly as possible. The briefer the appliance door is opened, the lower the ice formation on the freezer shelves. S To prevent the food from warming up quickly in the event of a power failure or malfunction, take ice blocks from the freezer tray and place them in the top compartment directly on the food. Preventing noises The appliance is not level Please align the appliance with a spirit level. [. . . ]
